A good Irelia beats Jax from about level 4 to 11. If you start dorans blade, try trading at level 1 with counterstrike. After that mostly try farming up as evenly as possible by using counterstrike during her W. You win if you aren't behind at level 11.

Early game stay safe. Try to trade at level 1 with your counterstrike, be sure not to push lane since Irelia can follow up rightly to ganks. Get Trinity and BotRK and you'll be able to win easly (levels 11/14 to late game).

From level 4 to 11 you are able to win trades. Once you have your sheen you will be able to almost one-shot a minion. Make sure to dodge his stun by Q'ing low minions and once he has wasted it, stun him, and start making damage.

Be careful with Jax's level one since he'll be taking his E, which can makes you lose half life or more.

Get sustain as main item, and build sheen fastly. If you're going badly, get some doran's blade (or shield) to get sustain.
